I'm pretty sure SwiftKit loads runescape according to what you have your default browser set as. (That is if you have 'use default browser' activated in settings, otherwise it will probably load of SwiftBrowse, which is the most unstable and far from user-friendly browser known to man.. Try contacting SwiftKit staff for a better answer. :S

To be honest, RuneScape runs on Java, and no matter what browser you use, Java is still Java... so I can't really see there being a browser that would be any better at playing RuneScape than another.

Personally, I use Firefox when I'm using Windows, and Safari when I'm using Mac OS X... Never had a problem with either when playing RuneScape at all....

The Windows downloadable client doesn't use Java actually. I know this because I can play Runescape without Java installed. Because of the missing Java layer, the official client should actually be the best "browser" for playing even if it isn't a real browser.

That missing java layer is still there the downloadable client is 99% java (1% c++). Instead of installing java on your computer it packages java all into a single .exe file.

I fail to see how that is possible. The whole game is written in Java and will require the Java runtime to be able to play.

The key words here that you are missing CakesAreLies is to be install. Nowhere dose it say you do not need java, you still require java to play it just doesn't have to be installed. That is why Open JDK is included in the download and why a 300kb file is now 22MB Java is included in the download.
